Application filed October 24, 1898.

To aZZ whom it may cancer-7e:

Be it known that I, JOHN PARETTE, of the city of Montreal, Province ofQuebec, Canada, have invented certain newand useful Improvements inIndia-Rubber Water-Bags and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same.

This invention relates to so-called hotwater bags or bottles, and hasfor its object to produce a bag of india-rubber of such a constructionthat all the edges of the bag shall be seamless, whereby the tendency toleakage is reduced to a minimum, the cost of manufacture lessened, and amore durable article produced.

The invention consists of a bag formed from a single sheet ofmaterial'of diamond form folded to present a rectangular bag, one sideof which and all the edges are free from seams and the other sidecontaining but two seams, extending diagonally across same from oppositecorners, the bag being finished in the usual manner by forming a vent atone end and providing a suspending-ring at the other end.

For full comprehension, however, of the invention reference must be hadto the annexed drawings, forming a part of this specification, in whichlike symbols indicate corresponding parts, and wherein- Figure 1 is aplan view of the blank used in making my improved bag. Figs. 2 and 3 areviews of opposite sides of the complete bag; Fig 4, a side view of thebag provided with reinforcing-yoke, and Fig. 5 an edge view of same,Fig. 6 being a transverse section ofthe bag on line 6 6, Fig. 4.

The blank-from which the body is formed is, as before mentioned, ofdiamond or rhomboidal form and folded upon the lines a a b b to presenta rectangular portion 0 and four triangular sections 01 e f g, theportion 0 forming one side of the bag and the sections cl cf 9, whenconnected together, forming the other side thereof. lhe sections d e f gare connected by means of seam-strips h, extending diagonally fromopposite corners of the bag, so as to overlap the abutting edges of suchsections, and, if desired, extended overthe bottom corners and up to thecenter of the Serial No. 694,469. (No model.)

opposite and seamless side of the bag for uniformity of appearance,while a reinforcing yoke-piece or may be used, as shown in Figs. 4 and5, to strengthen the upper end of the bag, to which the usual neck-piecea, terminating in a mouth 0, is secured, the blank being slittedcentrally of the folding-line a to receive such neck-piece.

p is the usual handle-strip, secured to the neck in the customarymanner, and q the suspending-ring, secured in any desired Way to thebottom of the bag.

I do not herein claim the particular form of blank shown and describednor the feature of all the seams being located on one side of the bag,as they form the subject-matter of and are claimed by me in anapplication filed on May25, 1900, under Serial No.

17,979, as a divisional part hereof.

What I claim is as follows:

1. A water-bag having its body formed of a single sheet of rubber ofdiamond, or rhomboidal shape, with straight edges, folded upon itselffrom opposite sides, and having its straight meeting edges abutting oneanother and joined so as to form a water-tight bag without seam or jointalong all its edges as set forth.

2. A water-bag having its body formed of a sheet of rubber of diamond,or rhomboidal shape, With straight edges, folded upon itself fromopposite sides upon lines extending at right angles to one another, theapices of said angles bisecting the sides of the diamondshaped sheet sothat when folded its straight meeting edges will abut and not, overlapeach other, and means for joining said abutting edges to form awater-tight bag without seam or joint along its edges but having a slitin one of the folded edges to form an opening to the neck of the bag asset forth;

3. A water-bag having its body formed of a sheet of rubber havingstraight edges and folded upon itself along four lines at right anglesto each other, the apices of said angles bisecting the sides of saidsheet, so that when folded its straight meeting edges will abut and notoverlap each other, means for joining said abutting edges'to form awater-tight bag without seam or joint along its folded side edges buthaving a slit in one of the all its edges, and corner-strengtheningporfolded edges to form an opening to the neck of the bag, as set forth.

4. A water-bag having its body formed of a sheet of rubber of diamond orrhomboidal shape with straight edges and folded upon itself fromopposite sides upon lines at right angles to one another, the apices ofsaid angles bisectin g the sides of the diamond-shaped sheet so thatwhen folded its straight meeting edges will abut and not overlap eachother, seam-strips overlapping and joining such abutting edges, so as torender the bag water-tight, without seam or joint along its folded sideedges but having a slit in one of the folded edges to form an opening tothe neck of the bag, as shown and described.

5. A water-bag formed of a sheet of rubber of diamond or rhomboidalshape with straight edgesand folded upon itself to present a centralrectangular portion and four triangular sections, the straight edges ofeach of which latter are in line with the straight edges of eachadjoining section and the apices of the angles of the centralrectangular portion bisecting the sides of the diamond so that when thesheet is folded upon the lines of the rectangular portion the straightedges will abut and not overlap each other, seam-strips overlapping andjoining the meeting and abutting edges of the triangular sectionstogether so as to render the bag water-tight, and a neck with mouthpieceand handle, as shown and described. 7

6. A water-bag formed of a sheet of rubber of diamond shape withstraight edges and folded upon itself to present a central rectangularportion and four triangular sections the straight free edges of each ofwhich latter are in line with the straight free edges of each adjoiningsection and the apices of the angles of the central rectangular portionbisecting the sides of the diamond so that when the sheet is folded uponthe lines of the rectangular portion the straight edges will abut andnot overlap each other, seam-strips overlap ping and joining the meetingand abutting edges of the triangular sections together so as to renderthe bag water-tight, a reinforcing yoke for strengthening the upper endof the body, and a neck with mouthpiece and handle, as shown anddescribed.

7. The combination of a water-bag having its body formed of a singlesheet of rubber of diamond or rhomboidal shape with straight edgesfolded upon itself from opposite sides, and having its straight meetingedges abutting one another and joined so as to form a water-tight bagwithout seam or joint along tions, as set forth.

8. A water-bag having its body formed of a sheet of rubber of diamond,or rhomboidal shape with straight edges folded upon itself from oppositesides upon lines extending at right angles to one another, the apices ofsaid angles bisecting the sides of the diamondshaped sheet so that whenfolded its straight meeting edges will abut and not overlap each other,corner strengthening portions, and means for joining said abutting edgesto form a Water-tight bag without seam or joint along its edges buthaving a slit in one of the folded edges to form an opening to the neckof the bag as set forth.

9. A water-bag having its body formed of a sheet of rubber havingstraight edges and folded upon itself along four lines at right anglesto each other, the apices of said angles bisecting the sides of saidsheet, so that when folded its straight meeting edges will abut and notoverlap each other, corner-strength ening portions, means for joiningsaid abutting edges to form a water-tight bag without seam or jointalong its folded side edges but having a slit in one of the folded edgesto form an opening to the neck of the bag, as set forth.

10. A water-bag having its body formed of a sheet of rubber of diamondor rhomboidal shape with straight edges and folded upon itself fromopposite sides upon lines at right angles to one another, the apices ofsaid an gles bisectin g the sides of the diamond-shaped sheet so thatwhen folded its straight meeting edges will abut and not overlap eachother, seam-strips overlapping and joining such abutting edges, so as torender the bag water tight, without seam or joint along its folded sideedges but having a slit in one of the folded edges to form an opening tothe neck of the bag, and the ends of said seam-strips being extended andfolded over to form strengthening portions for the corners of said bag,as shown and described.

11. A water-bag formed of a sheet of rubber of diamond or rhomboidalshape with straight edges and folded upon itself to present a centralrectangular portion and four triangular sections, the straight edges ofeach of which latter are in line with the straight edges of eachadjoining section and the apices of the angles of the centralrectangular portion bisecting the sides of the diamond so that when thesheet is folded upon the lines of the rectangular portion the straightedges will abut and not overlap each other, seam-strips overlapping andjoining the meeting and abutting edges of the triangular sectionstogether so as to render the bag water-tight, and the ends of saidseam-strips being extended and folded over to form strengtheningportions for the corners of said bag, and a neck with mouthpiece andhandle, as shown and described.

12. A water-bag formed of a sheet of rubber of diamond shape withstraight edges and folded upon itself to present a central rectan gularportion and four triangular sections the straight free edges of each ofwhich latter are in line with the straight free edges of each adjoiningsection and the apices of the angles of the central rectangular portionbisectin g the sides of the diamond so that when the sheet is foldedupon the lines of the rectangular portion the straight edges will abutand not overlap each other, seam-strips overa neck with mouthpiece andhandle, as shown lapping and joining the meeting and abutting anddescribed. 10 edges of the triangular sections together so In testimonywhereof I have aflixed my sigas to render the bag water-tight, and theends nature in presence of two witnesses.
